- 2. Description of the Related Technology
- A touch screen panel is an input device capable of inputting a user's instructions by allowing selection of instruction contents displayed on a screen, such as a display device, or the like, with a human hand or an object.
- To this end, the touch screen panel is provided on a front face of the display device to convert a contact position directly contacted by the human hand or the object into an electric signal. Therefore, the instruction contents selected at the contact position are recognized as an input signal.
- Since the touch screen panel as described above may substitute a separate input device such as a keyboard or a mouse connected to the display device and operated, application fields thereof have been gradually extended.
- The touch screen panel as described above recognizes a touch event generated in a screen area as an input signal by forming a conductive sensing cell at a screen area displaying an image. That is, in a case in which a display device includes a touch screen panel, the screen area is set to be a display area displaying an image and an active area capable of inputting the touch input.
- Peripheral wirings, such as signal lines, power lines and the like, are connected to the pixels and sensing cells. These peripheral wirings are disposed in an edge of the screen area, which is set to a non active area and a black matrix area for preventing the wirings from being visible.
- To this end, the black matrix is formed on a window substrate disposed on the uppermost portion of the display device, corresponding to the non active area.
- The touch screen panel, or the like, is disposed at a lower portion of the window substrate having the black matrix and may be attached to one surface of the window substrate having the black matrix by an optical cleared adhesive (OCA).
- However, during the attaching process, a problem, such as a bubble generated at a boundary between the active area and the non active area, or the like, due to a step difference caused by the black matrix, may occur.
- Further, in a case in which the window substrate and a substrate for touch screen panel are separately provided, the display device having the touch screen panel is configured with a substrate for touch screen panel having the conductive sensing cell for sensing touch and the window substrate disposed on the upper portion thereof, as well as a display panel for displaying the image. Therefore, a structure of the display device having the touch screen panel is relatively complex and a disadvantage of an increased thickness thereof exists.

-
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of a touch screen panel. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a touch screen panel includes: asubstrate 10, a plurality ofconductive sensing cells 30 formed on thesubstrate 10, connectingpatterns 32 for connecting thesensing cells 30 in a first direction or a second direction, andperipheral wirings 35 for connecting thesensing cells 30 to a driving circuit of the peripheral wirings through apad unit 37. - The
substrate 10, which is a base component of the touch screen panel, may be formed using a transparent substrate material, such as a glass, polyethylene telephtalate (PET), acryl, or the like. The term “transparency” includes transparency having a high optical transmittance. - The
sensing cells 30, which are formed on one surface of theactive area 101 of thesubstrate 10, may be formed of a transparent electrode formed of indium tin oxide (ITO), or the like, or a metal electrode patterned to be secure a predetermined transmittance or higher. Thesensing cells 30 as described above, in order to detect a position according to a touch input, includefirst sensing cells 30 a connected in a first direction andsecond sensing cells 30 b connected in a second direction. - The
first sensing cells 30 a are connected in the first direction, for example, in a column direction, by thefirst connecting patterns 32 a, and are connected to theperipheral wirings 35 in a column line unit, respectively. - The
second sensing cells 30 b are disposed between thefirst sensing cells 30 a so as to be insulated from thefirst sensing cells 30 a, and are connected in the second direction different from the first direction, for example, in the row direction, by thesecond connecting patterns 32 b and connected to theperipheral wirings 35 in a row line unit, respectively. - The first and
second sensing cells second connection patterns - The
peripheral wirings 35, which are formed on nonactive area 102 of one surface of thesubstrate 10, connect thesensing cells 30 to an external drive circuit (not shown) such as, for example, a position detecting circuit, through thepad unit 37. - Since the
peripheral wirings 35 may be disposed in anon-active area 102 positioned at the periphery of the touch screen panel but not theactive area 101 displaying an image, theperipheral wirings 35 may be formed of a low-resistance material, such as, molybdenum (Mo), silver (Ag), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), molybdenum/aluminum/molybdenum (Mo/Al/Mo), and the like. In addition, the limitation on thickness, width, or the like, of theperipheral wirings 35 is relatively low. - The touch screen panel according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above is a capacitive type touch panel. When a contact object, such as a user's hand or stylus pen, comes into contact with the touch screen panel, a change of capacitance according to a contact position may be transferred to a side of driving circuit (not shown) from the
sensing cells 30 via theperipheral wirings 35 and thepad unit 37. - Then, the change in the capacitance is converted into an electrical signal by X and Y input processing circuits (now shown), or the like, such that the contact position is recognized.
-
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a unified window touch screen panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a display device having the unified window touch screen panel shown inFIG. 2 . Here, although the embodiment is described as a capacitive type touch screen panel, any other type of touch screen panel is also possible. - In the description of
FIGS. 2 and 3 , for convenience, components that are the same as those ofFIG. 1 will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. - First, referring to
FIG. 2 , the touch screen panel according to an embodiment includes: thesubstrate 10, an opaqueperipheral pattern 20 formed at one surface of the nonactive area 102, an insulatingmember 25 disposed at an inner portionactive area 101 of the peripheral pattern to be positioned at a same layer of theperipheral pattern 20,conductive sensing cells 30 formed on the insulatingmember 25, andperipheral wirings 35 connected to thesensing cells 30 and formed on theperipheral pattern 20. - The
substrate 10, which serves as a window and may be a base component of the touch screen panel, may be formed of a transparent material such as a glass or a transparent film. - As described above, in the case where the
substrate 10 is used as both of a window and a substrate for the touch screen panel, as well as the opaqueperipheral pattern 20 such as a black matrix, theconductive sensing cells 30 for sensing touch and/or theperipheral wirings 35 are formed one surface of thesubstrate 10, for example, a rear surface toward a display panel. - The
peripheral pattern 20, which is formed on the nonactive area 102 of one surface of thesubstrate 10, is implemented opaquely so as to prevent theperipheral wirings 35 on the lower portion from being visible. For example, theperipheral pattern 20 may be implemented as a black matrix. - The insulating
member 25 is disposed on theactive area 101 of inside of theperipheral pattern 20, and implemented as a transparent film, an organic insulating film, or the like. The insulatingmember 25 is formed to have a height substantially the same as that of theperipheral pattern 20 so that a step difference is not generated at a boundary between theactive area 101 and the nonactive area 102. As used herein a height “substantially the same” as that of the peripheral pattern may vary within a predetermined error range, such as within 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12% 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% or even greater, depending on the particular process conditions employed. - The
sensing cells 30 are formed on the insulatingmember 25, and theperipheral wirings 35 connected to thesensing cells 30 are formed on theperipheral pattern 20. Theperipheral wirings 35 may be connected to thesensing cells 30 by various methods such as through a contact hole, a direct contact, or the like. - As described above, during a manufacturing method of the touch screen panel shown in
FIG. 2 thesubstrate 10 is provided and theperipheral pattern 20 and the insulatingmember 25 are formed on one surface of thesubstrate 10. Theperipheral pattern 20 and the insulatingmember 25 are formed at the nonactive area 102 and theactive area 101 of the substrate, respectively, and an order of manufacturing thereof may be determined by materials, manufacturing method, and the like, of theperipheral pattern 20 and/or the insulatingmember 25. - For example, in a case where the
peripheral pattern 20 is implemented as a black matrix formed by a screen printing method and the insulatingmember 20 is implemented as a transparent film attached on thesubstrate 10, after the insulatingmember 25 is formed on one surface of theactive area 101 of thesubstrate 10, theperipheral pattern 20 may be implemented by forming the black matrix formed by a screen printing method on the same surface of the nonactive area 102 of thesubstrate 10. - Here, the black matrix may be formed to have a thickness similar to the transparent film, to this end, the black matrix may be formed by printing at two degrees or higher. However, in a case where the transparent film has a thick thickness, the black matrix should be implemented by printing at ten degrees or higher. Therefore, the thickness of the transparent film may be about 50 μm. Although the
conductive sensing cells 30 are formed on a thin transparent film, the transparent film is attached to thesubstrate 10. Therefore, thesubstrate 10 serves as a carrier so that thesensing cells 30 are relatively easily formed. In addition, although the thickness of the black matrix is smaller than that of the transparent film, in a manufacturing process, or the like, described below, a thickness difference between the black matrix and the transparent film caused by theperipheral wirings 35 may be compensated. - In a case where the
peripheral pattern 20 is implemented as a black matrix formed by a screen printing method and the insulatingmember 25 is implemented as a transparent film attached on thesubstrate 10, an attaching process of the transparent film is not necessarily performed in advance than a forming of the black matrix, and their manufacturing order may be switched. - In another example of material of the insulating
member 25, there is an organic insulating film. However, in a case where the insulatingmember 25 is implemented as an organic insulating film, the black matrix is first formed as theperipheral pattern 20 and then the insulatingmember 25 is formed by coating an inner portion of theperipheral pattern 20 with the organic insulating film, thereby making it possible to easily balance heights of the black matrix and the organic insulating film. The organic insulating film may be formed by using a mega-type UV curable organic insulating material, in this case, when an exposing is performed at a side of thesubstrate 10, an organic insulating material of the nonactive area 102 where light is not supplied by theperipheral pattern 20 is not cured, thereby making it possible to easily form the organic insulating film only on theactive area 101. - When the
peripheral pattern 20 and the insulatingmember 25 are formed, the touch screen panel is implemented by forming theperipheral patterns 35 and theconductive sensing cells 30 on theperipheral pattern 20 and the insulatingmember 25, respectively. - In the touch screen panel as described above, an opaque
peripheral pattern 20 such as the black matrix, is formed on the nonactive area 102 of one surface of thesubstrate 10. As noted above, the insulatingmember 25 is formed to have a height substantially the same as that of theperipheral pattern 20. As such, the insulatingmember 25 is formed at an inner portion of theactive area 101 so as to be positioned at the same layer as theperipheral pattern 20. Theconductive sensing cells 30 for sensing a touch are formed on the insulatingmember 25, and theperipheral wirings 35 are formed on theperipheral pattern 20. Therefore, while implementing the window-integrated touch screen panel having a simplified structure and a reduced thickness thereof, the generation of bubbles during the manufacturing process may be prevented by reducing the step difference caused by the opaqueperipheral pattern 20. - Further, in a case where the insulating
member 25 is implemented as a transparent film, the transparent film is attached to thesubstrate 10 by an adhesive component instead of a transparent adhesive having a thick thickness such as OCA, thereby making it possible to reduce the thickness thereof. In addition, thesubstrate 10 may be used as a carrier substrate used for forming a pattern on a thin film, thereby making it possible to reduce the thickness of the transparent film. - A
display panel 50 displaying the image is attached to a lower portion of the window-integrated touch screen panel as shown inFIG. 3 , and the window-integrated touch screen panel is coupled to an upper portion of thedisplay panel 50 by a transparent adhesive 40 such as OCA, to thereby receive the touch input. One surface of thesubstrate 10 having theperipheral pattern 20, the insulatingmember 25, thesensing cells 30, and theperipheral wirings 35 formed thereon is set to a surface toward thedisplay panel 50, for example, a rear surface. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a window-integrated touch screen panel according to another embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 4 shows an example where the peripheral pattern is formed in a multilayered structure composed of at least two layers having different colors. For convenience, parts inFIG. 4 , which are similar to or the same as those inFIG. 2 , will be designated by the same reference numerals, and detail descriptions thereof will be omitted. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , an opaqueperipheral pattern 20′ is formed of a multilayered structure having adecorative layer 20 a disposed on a side of thesubstrate 10 and ablack matrix 20 b disposed between thedecorative layer 20 a and theperipheral wirings 35. - When the opaque
peripheral pattern 20′ is formed as a multilayered structure, a window-integrated touch screen panel having a color edge is implemented while the 20 a is implemented by various colors, thereby making it possible to improve a design freedom and provide an aesthetic effect. - For example, the
decorative layer 20 a may be formed as a white color layer. A vivid white color may be displayed by forming thedecorative layer 20 a to be thicker than theblack matrix 20 b. In addition, since theblack matrix 20 b is positioned below thedecorative layer 20 a, theperipheral wirings 35 and the like can be effectively prevented from being visualized. - As set forth above, an opaque peripheral pattern such as a black matrix, is formed on the non active area of one surface of the substrate, the insulating member is disposed on an active area of an inside of the peripheral pattern so as to be positioned on a same layer as the peripheral pattern. Conductive sensing cells for sensing touch are formed to be positioned on the insulating member; and peripheral wirings connected to the conductive sensing cells are formed to be positioned on the peripheral pattern. Therefore, a window-integrated touch screen panel having a simplified structure and a reduced thickness can be realized, and bubble generation can be prevented during the manufacturing process by reducing the step difference due to the opaque
peripheral pattern 20. - While the present invention has been described in connection with certain embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, and equivalents thereof.
